Temptation

You are everything to me. Without you, doors would not open, Drifting in an estuary of such belonging. If I never knew you, who would I be, How could I change in new directions, Courage and faith exulted. The loneliest hour passing, Entering city lights in a haven, Dual lanes in the midnight hour. The city burns, Blood pours the vernacular ceiling. I hit the gas. Over the orange haze of night lights, Wheels burning, sound as companion, Window down low. It's hypnotic, the night time feeling, The blacked out houses, The continuous spit of an asphalt track, Ethereal hills in shadow. High winds rock but I don't care. Meet me at the toll bridge, My desire is you. Centuries fill this place, Old and decaying, Void remnants. Turning into the bay, I remember you. You were all I desired.
